Default Am I missing a bolt?
Caught this today, threaded hole below the clutch cable. Am I missing a bolt or is it just a hole used for something I don't have?

Thanks


Bike is a 17 Lowrider S

Ah ok, thanks.
Didn't look like it was effecting anything but it was threaded and it was recently at the shop for a leak around there.

Thankfully you don't normally see it, the cable blocks it. I only just now caught it because I was putting on a gremilin bell and saw it.

Oh, I hear ya, but I am so oc about such things that once I knew there was a hole without a screw, I just would not be able to let it go until I put one in...and it has to be just like the ones around it...it's a curse.

What's with the double screw/bolt on the bottom of the trans. side cover below the "d" in six speed? Or am I imagining that?

Optical illusion. Smaller bolt is from the trans cover, the other from another part of the case.

If it were me, I would definitely put a bolt in there, not just for the aesthetics but also to defend against crud and corrosion....
